Lory Meagher Cup 2015
The Leitrim Hurlers will be hoping to continue their recent rich vein of form as they head to Brewster Park, Enniskillen, tomorrow for a 5pm throw in. Following two good wins over Warwickshire and Lancashire, the hurlers are right back in contention for a place in the Lory Meagher Cup Final 2015.
A win over the heretofore unbeaten Fermanagh would have Leitrim awaiting the results of the final round of fixtures on Saturday week when the finalists will ultimately be decided.
Fermanagh play Sligo in their final group game and Leitrim will have completed their four game series tomorrow.
Its all to play for for the team and we wish them the best of luck in tomorrows vital tie.

Lory Meagher Cup Leitrim v Lancashire
Following last weekend’s victorious trip to Birmingham, where the Leitrim Hurlers had a great victory over Warwickshire, it’s back to home soil again tomorrow as the lads face Lancashire in Ballinamore with a 2.30pm throw in.
Buoyed up by last week’s result we are hopeful of a home victory which would set up nicely a final round match on Saturday 23rd in Enniskillen versus Fermanagh.
In any event it’s one day at a time and for the moment let’s wish the team and management the very best of luck in tomorrow’s encounter.
Liatroim Abú.

Following on their very competitive Allianz League campaign, the hurlers will be hoping for a winning start to this years championship competition. The sides met earlier this season on March 15th with the Leitrim side coming out on the right side of a thrilling 1-15 to 2-10 victory in Markievicz Park In Allianz Leagues Round 2. A repeat result will set the lads up nicely for the trip to Birmingham to play Warwickshire next weekend.

While most supporters are concentrating on our Under 21 footballers playing in the Connacht Final tomorrow against Roscommon, dont forget that our Senior hurlers are in action in the Allianz Hurling League Division 3B final against Tyrone in Markievicz Park at 3.45pm. You can read John Lynchs article on Shannonside or listen to an interview with Leitrim team Manager Martin Cunniffe about the big game. Seeing is believing.

Connacht Táin league –
In the Connacht Tain league Carrick hurling looked like they could reach the semi final by beating Bellmullet last Friday night but unfortunately in the dying seconds of the game Belmullet were given a life line when they were awarded a dubious penalty. The final score saw Carrick going down by a point on a scoreline of 0.11 to 1.09. Cluainin Iomaint were waiting on this scoreline with bated breath and were more than happy with this result as a win in their game would have sealed the semi final spot for them on Scóring difference. Unfortunately Western Gaels could not field a team last Saturday and at the time of going to print it looks like Western Gaels will be awarding Cluainin a walk over which means that Cluainin, Carrick and Belmullet will be level on points. If a walk over is given then Scóring difference will not come into play and a three way play off will determine who plays against Castlebar Mitchels in the semi final. In the other group of the Tain league Ballinamore were unable to play Sylane.
Under 16 Sligo league –
Cluainin Iomaint under 16stravelled to Western Gaels in Sligo last wednesday and won on a scoreline of 3.13 to 1.02. Matthew Kerrigan, Andrew Loughlin, Cian Killalea and captain Kieran McPartland worked hard in defence while Christopher Ferguson and Stephen Loughlin commanded midfield Scóring 1.03 between them. Martin Feeney, Damon Beattie, Fergus Munday and Luke Sheirdan created a lot of trouble in the forwards. Damon Beattie finished the match Scóring a massive 1.07. Daithi Cummins and Ferghal Ryan made their debuts for the hurlers and showed great promise. Team and scorers – Peter Poniard, Matthew Kerrigan, Andrew Loughlin, Cian Killalea, Kiernan McPartland (Cpatain) (0.01), Christopher Ferguson (0.02), Stephen Loughlin (1.01), Martin Feeney (0.02), Damon Beattie (1.07) Luke Sheirdan (1.00), Fergus Munday (0.01), Daithi Cummins, Ferghal Rooney.
Cluainin Iomaint under 16s play Coolera/Strandhill this Wednesday at 6.30pm at Ransboro pitch in Round 2 of the Sligo League.
